the tech billionaires have lost the plot

Great points.

Especially regarding the environmental aspects, I feel like the whole thing could just be solved by zoning datacentres as industrial and applying slightly stricted regulation.

AI doesn't kill the environment by itself, it just needs a lot of energy and there needs to be some planning put into providing clean energy for datacentres without spinning gas turbines or raising energy prices immensely for the average Joe.

Ed Sheeran tour drops Macklemore after his onstage support for Palestine

Reply in thread

I fully agree with all of the above regarding support for human rights and the treatment of Gazans, but for me this costume + "from the river to the sea" (meaning ethnic cleansing of Israelis) are clear tells. Even if he isn't an antisemite or he isn't anymore, he should've been a smarter. Would we show the same understanding to a public figure who openly used the N-word toward someone unironically?

I understand why Ed Sheeran would drop him and I don't think it should be particularly controversial.
